This subordinate is the eldest son of the shopkeeper He, named Man Zhao. is the same as what Shopkeeper He said, if he can write and calculate, he is already a qualified bookkeeper. Du Baozhu was worried that there was no such talent around him, so he arranged him to be an assistant by his side.

He Manzhao really lived up to expectations, and clarified the accounts between Du Ji and Sun Ji in a few words: "...... That's it, according to the contract you signed at the beginning, you can get nine hundred taels. ”

This is two hundred taels more than the bottom line agreed at the beginning, and Sun Fang was quite surprised: "Du Niangzi is a promise, and I thought that I could only get seven hundred taels of gold." ”

"Thanks to you, this batch of silk patterns are the latest styles, which are deeply loved by the people of Beijing, so they sell better." Du Baozhu smiled: "What we have in the future is the opportunity to cooperate, how can we ruin the friendship between the two sides for this little profit?" ”

"Heh," Sun Fang pulled the corners of his lips, and his sharp gaze fell on Du Baozhu: "It's strange, I didn't know that there was still a friendship with Du Niangzi." ”

"Boss Sun is angry about what happened in Jingzhao Mansion before?" Du Baozhu seemed to be unable to see Sun Fang's murderous gaze, and explained with a smile: "The case involves my family's big shopkeeper, and I was forced to investigate it to the end, not deliberately sabotaging your business." ”

As she spoke, she took a small box from He Manzhao and sent it to Sun Fang: "This is a little gift of reparation prepared by me, and I ask Boss Sun to accept it." ”

The box contained a palm-sized gilt token, which was printed with Du Kee's unique logo, and the four big characters 'Gold Medal VIP' were written on the reverse.

Sun Fang raised his eyebrows: "What is this?" ”

"This is Du Kee's gold medal, in addition to the coupon bank, Du Kee can get a 10% discount by showing this token, which can be used for life."

"Du Niangzi is really calculating," Sun Fang never thought that Du Baozhu's face was three points thicker than his old fox, and he couldn't help laughing: "Is this a gift, or a gold medal voucher to coax me to spend money?" ”

"Nature is a gift." Du Baozhu said: "I hurt you to lose the shipyard, even if you demolish the Du family, you can't afford to pay for it." But I didn't want to pay for it, so I had to make up for it in this way. You may wish to consider this as an investment in To Kee, and the more stores Du Kee opens in the future, the more benefits you can enjoy. ”

"Hmph." Sun Fang was noncommittal, handed the box to the next person, and glanced at Du Baozhu with a smile, and then got to the point.

"Aren't you worried that Tian Lingzi saw that my shipyard was making money, so he forcibly requisitioned the shipyard, and your garment mill was so profitable, it would also be forcibly requisitioned by him?"

"Worried." There is no need to fake this. Du Baozhu sighed and said, "But now that the world is so chaotic, what can you do just by worrying?" ”

An unclear dark light flashed in Sun Fang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I can show you the way." ”

"Oh?" Du Baozhu raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what you mean by the way you ......"

Sun Fang dipped the tea that had been cooled, and wrote the word 'Yang' on the table: "This person is short of manpower, you are so capable, you might as well give it a try." ”

Du Baozhu never thought that the backer she had recommended to Li Jie before would actually go around in circles and recommend it back to her.

However, she knew the historical process and knew that Yang Fugong would be able to overpower Tian Lingzi in the future. Why did Sun Fang think that Yang Fugong could defeat Tian Lingzi?

Or did he just want to take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between her and Tian Lingzi?

Du Baozhu smiled slightly, without revealing the slightest flaw on his face: "Thank you Boss Sun for your kindness." But the stakes are high, and I need to think about it again. ”

"Opportunity waits for no one." Sun Fang was meaningful: "Du Niangzi, don't think about it for too long. ”

"It's nature."

Out of Sun's Mansion, Du Baozhu touched the sleeve (slave bow) tied to his arm, and an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes.

Just when Lu Ming thought that the little lady was going to see His Royal Highness, he heard the little lady's crisp voice say, "Go home." ”

"Yes." The groom raised his whip, and the tame horse immediately pulled the carriage along.

Lu Ming touched the tip of his nose and pressed the question that almost broke through his throat back into his stomach: The little lady is much smarter than me, why bother asking?

By the time the weather cooled down, Kyoto women's dresses had changed several times. Although not as popular as the bungaku, the variety of dresses adds to the beautiful scenery of Kyoto.

However, other ready-to-wear shops and tailor shops have reacted and have followed behind Du Kee ready-to-wear shops to imitate dresses. Their prices are 20% cheaper than Du Kee, so they have robbed a lot of customers.

Du Baozhu sat in front of the window with her cheeks crossed, and after waiting for the twentieth woman wearing a fake Du Ji dress to walk in front of her, she suddenly jumped off the stool: "Auntie, second aunt, we can go to the second step!" ”

Zhou had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and immediately stood up when he heard this: "I'll send someone to inform Pei Lang of them!" ”

Todu remembers the blessing of the ready-to-wear shop, and now most of the ladies in every household in the capital have a decent dress to wear when visiting relatives and friends.

But when walking on the street in a beautiful dress, the husband who was still wearing old clothes next to him looked a little unpleasant.

However, there are only a few kinds of clothes that men can wear, and the robe is beautiful, but it is not that scholars cannot wear it. The shirt is made of fabric, but some of them can't be put on the table, which is really sad for all the ladies in charge.

When I was worried, a new portrait was hung on the blank display board in front of the new tea shop. When I got closer, I found that it was not a women's dress, but a men's dress that was six points similar to the robe.

Just looking at the portrait, you can't appreciate the characteristics of this outfit. Soon, the people of Kyoto found that many scholars in the city wore this shirt, which was different from the cloth robe, which was simple and neat, with narrow sleeves and a waist, which was not only elegant, but also very capable and spiritual, and everyone was a little younger.

This is not the reason why the housekeepers and ladies are excited, what they are most excited about is that Pei Nuan, the number one talent in the capital, also wears this shirt!

Pei Nuan is in his early twenties, and he is handsome and compelling. Originally, he was a little sick and weak in a plain white robe all day, but when he changed into a new clothes with a corset, he looked much stronger and more energetic. The ape arm and bee waist, looking forward to it are all affectionate, which makes the ladies love it even more, and they can't help but ask where this dress is sold.

Eventually, they went back to the ready-to-wear shop that sold affordable women's clothes. By this time the shop had been divided into two halves, one half was hung with women's dresses as usual, and the other half was full of men's clothes.

At the front, it is the set that Pei Nuan wears!

Who doesn't want to make their rough and sloppy man look as handsome as Pei Lang? When will you not rush at this time? The housekeepers immediately turned into tigers and pounced on the counter.

Not surprisingly, this new set of men's robes, like the robes, has caused a wave in Kyoto.

Because there was a lot of inventory in advance, so without waiting for other stores to imitate the same style, Du Kee's new men's clothing has already seized the market.

The studio and the To Kee Ready-to-Wear Shop have made a name for themselves and become the most vocal trendsetters in Kyoto.

"It's all silver!" Zhou shook the ledger and smiled.

She also ran a ready-to-wear shop in the past, but most of the people in Kyoto are still used to making their own clothes, and they are not willing to spend more money on ready-to-wear clothes, and the business of the shop is only good and barely able to sustain itself.

But as soon as Jiaojiaoer came out, she actually made all the money of the women and men in Kyoto, which is also amazing, right?

After she reconciled with Du Yanlin, her nurse Zou Mama sighed in front of her many times, talking about the current scenery of the Liu family. It wasn't until the studio shined that she finally swept away her depression: "Nurse, look, even if Du Yanlin is admitted to the Jinshi, he has to wait for two years, how can he spend this silver comfortably?" ”

Mama Zou nagged before, but she also felt sorry for her own lady who had suffered a lot of grievances in vain. At this moment, after seeing Zhou's harmony and departure, the days became more exciting, and he also grinned at the missing teeth: "It's still a smart brain, and I know the severity." Unlike me, I have shallow eyelids and can't see long-term things. ”

"You are not allowed to say that." Zhou's mother has passed away, and the closest one is this nurse who has been with her since she was a child, and when she heard this, she stretched out her hand and hugged Mama Zou's shoulder and said: "It's not that I have a long vision, but that we are lucky to meet such a smart and capable person as Jiaojiaoer, and then we are stained." ”

When Mama Zou heard this, her brows furrowed again: "Ah Zhu is a member of the Du family after all, if Erlang marries another bride, can she still be so close to you?" ”

"This ......" Zhou had never thought about this question before.

She watched Jiaojiaoer be born and raised, and she looked at Jiaojiao like her own child. After she and Du Yanlin reconciled, the Cui family and the Hu family were still as affectionate as usual, and they forgot that they were all Du family affairs.

Mama Zou gritted her teeth and said, "The old man is thick-skinned, go to Erlang and talk about it, and renew your marriage contract?" ”

"Nurse, don't go!" Zhou hurriedly stopped Mama Zou: "If I want to make money and live with Du Erlang, what is the difference between it and my previous life?" ”

"When Jiao Jiaoer was engaged in literary robes and men's robes, she taught me all the steps carefully. Although I can't think of a new way, I can use this old trick, even if Jiao Jiao'er breaks off contact with us, I can deal with eighty percent, why bother to go to Du Er again? ”

Mama Zou didn't think so, in her opinion, Du Yanlin was still the uncle of the Zhou family, how could the position of an official wife be given to the wild fox of the Liu family?

The Zhou family is still angry with Du Yanlin, which is as it should be. But in order to avoid Zhou's regrets in the future, the relationship with Du Yanlin still can't be broken, and the matter of the lower face is left to her, who is a wet nurse.

When Zhou returned to the store to be busy with business, Mama Zou instructed her subordinates to cook autumn pear soup that moistened the lungs and sent it to the academy in person.

The weather changes greatly in autumn, and when it comes to this time in the past, the Zhou family will send someone to change Du Yanlin's suitcase. But now that there is no hostess in the house, and the Liu family is busy with the business of the wine shop, no longer serving as carelessly as before, no one cares about this matter.

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Du Yanlin contracted the wind chill and shrank in the bedroom, unable to even read.

Although the scholar who accompanied him was loyal, he was not careful enough, and always forgot to add hot water, quilts and other small things, which made him take care of him for a long time, but his illness became more and more serious.

was lying dizzily when he heard someone knocking on the door: "Erlang? ”
